Bristol omicron party

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pox_party:

Pox parties, also known as flu parties, are social activities in which children are deliberately exposed to infectious diseases such as chickenpox. Such parties originated to "get it over with" before vaccines were available for a particular illness or because childhood infection might be less severe than infection during adulthood, according to proponents.^[1][2]

I hear stories some are now doing similar with covid19. Yesterday a friend and I went to Bristol Mountain to snowboard in the biggest snowfall of the season.  Almost none of the skiers in the lodge were masked. And there were a lot of them due to yesterday being a holiday.  We wanted no part of the omicron party inside the lodge:

So we went into the lodge only to use the bathrooms.
